HOLDCUSTOM HOUSE

Fifty Lives Were lost—Estrada
Would Exchange Salamanca for
William F. Pittman.
(Associated Press Report.)
BLUEFIELDS, Nicaragua, June 30.—
The government custom house at Pearl
lagoon was taken last night by the rebel3
under General Masos. The officers in
the custom service were captured, as
was General Matuty, who was formerly
associated with the revolutionary cause.
Estrada's men also captured a large can-
non and some provisions and ammuni-
tion. The fighting lasted only twenty
minutes and the total casualties are said
to be fifty.
The steamer Columbia, with coal and
provisions for the government gunboat
Venus, stopped off the lagoon today, but
not receiving the signals agreed upon,
departed, probably for Greytown. It Is
thought likely that President Madriz Will
order a custom house opened at Cap^

ESTRADA WOULD SWAP.
Anxious to Demonstrate Good Feel-
ing- to the United States.
(Associated Press Report.)
BLUEFIELDS, Nicaragua, June 30.—
General Estrada, the leader of the pro-
visional forces, has made an offer to the
Madriz commander to exchange Colonel
Salamanca, who was captured in the en-
gagement at Pearl Lagoon, for William
P. Pittman, the American engineer, who
Is in the hands of the enemy at Blue-
tields Bluff. Salamanca was formerly
governor of Greytown and has great in-
fluence in Nicaraguan political circles.
He was in command of the Madriz forces
at Pearl Lagoon.
General Estrada in making the offer
for the exchange is notably anxious to
rescue Pittman from his dangerous posi-
tion and also wishes to demonstrate his
fi it-ndly feeling for the United States.
Advices from Greytown state that JJr.
Irias is sending all of his men to San
Carlos to prolect that place from attack
by General Mena.

PARIS, July 1.—Liabceuf. the Apache,
who killed a policeman several months
ago, was guillotined at daybreak today.
The specialists had attempted to get a
reprieve for the assassin, but their ef-
forts were fruitless and a violent mani-
festation -by the revolutionary socialists
occurred at the scene of the execution.
At the very moment the blade fell sever-
al rioters fired revolvers. The police
charged repeatedly with bayonets. A
police captain was shot in the throat and
several persons were badly injured.

WASHINGTON, June 30.—The Southern
Commercial Congress today published an
estimate that the census of 1910 will
show the Southern States, including Mis-
souri and Oklahoma, to have made a
gain in population since the census of
1900 of 21 per cent, or from 26,747,677 to
32,415,297. The gain of all other States
of the X'nited States together is estimated
to have been 18% per cent during the
same period.
Five States of the South which appear
to have made the greatest numerical
gains population in ten years are, in
the order named, Oklahoma, Texas, Mis-
souri, Georgia and Alabama. The order
of the Southern States in the total of
population will probably appear in the
census of 1910 as follows: Texas, Mis-
i souri, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee,
North Carolina. Alabama, Virginia, Mis-
sissippi, Oklahoma, Louisiana, South Car-
olina, Arkansas, Maryland, West Virginia,
Florida. Five States to make the great-
est proportionate gain in the same pe-
j riod will be, in the order named, Okla-
) homa, Florida, Texas, West Virginia,
I Louisiana.
Omitting Oklahoma, whose proportion-
ate growth is due to ner development
within twenty-one yeats from an Indian
reservation, the States of the South will
rank as follows for percentage of increase:
Florida, Texas, West Virginia, Louisiana,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Virginia,
North Carolina. Arkansas, Missouri, Ken-
tucky, Tennessee, Maryland.

(Houston Post Special.)
AUSTIN, Texas, June 30.—It became
known here today that Governor Camp-
bell is seeking to have returned to ja:l
a man whom he recently pardoned under
the impression that the prisoner was in
ill health and destitute, but which im-
pression, according to later Information,
was found to be erroneous.
It is not known just how this case got
by the board of pardon advisers. The
name of the man is not made public.
At the governor's request the attorney
general's department furnished an opinion
in which, it is understood, a plan is in-
dicated whereby the pardon can be re-
voked and the prisoner remanded to jail,
if further investigation shall assure the
governor that the pardon was secured
tinder false pretenses. The case is unique,
and its outcome will furnish an interest-
ing chapter in law.

TALK OF ANOTHER SESSION
The Issue Was Clear-Cut and Form
er President Failed to Again
Whip His Party Leaders
Into Line for Hughes.
(Associated Press Report.)
ALBANY, N. Y., June 30.—Theodore
Roosevelt was beaten decisively today.
Whatever may be the final outcome of his
first adventure in politics since his retire-
ment from the White House, he met de-
feat fiatfooted at the hands of the repub-
lican organization In the assembly. At a
late hour the senate had not made up its
mind.
Another defeat at the hands of the
senate is probable. The senators sat up
most of the night debating whether they
should accede to the former president's
wishes and finally voted to adjourn sine
die at 2 o'clock tomorrow. This is taken
as an indication that the senate will fol-
low in the footsteps of the assembly.
The Cobb direct nomination bill was
killed in the assembly this afternoon after
a long, hard fight. The final count stooil
80 to G3 in favor of accepting the adverse
report of the judiciary committee which
had the bill in charge. The republicans
in the senate held a caucus tonight, but
only twenty-three senators were there.
They voted to make a party measure of
the Cobb hill with the amendments pro-
posed by Lloyd C. Griscom, chairman of
the New York county republican commit-
tee, and favored by Colonel Roosevelt.
But it takes twenty-six votes to pass a
bill in the senate, so that the situai
was not changed.
SCENE WAS DRAMATIC.
Then the senate went into executive
session and as midnight drew near it was
still at it with no vote in sight. The
scene was almost as dramatic and excit-
ing as though Colonel Roosevelt himself
had been here to lead the battle.
There is talk of still another special
session. The assembly this afternoon
voted to adjourn at 2 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon and the senate concurred to-
night.
With no primary bill passed and with-
out having provided for necessary finan-
cial measures, the leaders say Governor
Hughes may call It back again.
Roosevelt was the potent figure in to-
day's contest. Four years ago and again
two years ago, he whipped the republican
State convention into line, forcing it to
accept Hughes as the nominee for gov-
ernor. The supreme question today was
whether he would be able again to com-
pel the republican organization to follow
his bidding. It was a clear cut issue be-
tween the former president and the or-
ganization leaders and the leaders won.
of nationalTsignificance.
It was a long, hot, tense day. From
the moment that Colonel Roosevelt sent
his telegram to Mr. Griscom urging the
passage of the bill, things hummed. The
situation suddenly became one which was
regarded as of National significance. The
guess was whether Roosevelt of Sagamore
Hill was as mighty as Roosevelt of Wash-
ington. Those who had previously sup-
